A new thread - with apologies to the gerbils for leaving them out of the title.

That soupy bowl looks good.Well done gerbils.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/11/2024 19:00

I rather fancy a big bowl of French onion soup, with a big, melty Gruyère crouton on top. Autocarrot didn’t like melty, and wanted to say meaty instead - I had to be firm. Yet another instance of AI not being as good real, human intelligence, I feel.

I have finally made a start on knitting Parsley the Lion for dh - the body is done, and I just need to do the head, front legs, mane and tail - he is off to London twice next week, so I should get some good stretches of Stealth Knitting time while he's away. I do appear to have vastly overestimated the amount of yellow yarn I need - I might see if I can use the leftovers to knit a big bee, for my DIL, who loves bees.🐝

@Boiledbeetle I was not expecting that! I was thinking they'd be something to add to the hot chocolate! No one would notice if I smuggle one in, to replace the support quokka, would they? They're going to catch their death of cold outside tonight!

Gerbils are quick tonight

Is anyone brave enough to ask for a crocodile sandwich?

Smuggle me in one as well, I'll willingly do my bit to help warm one of the poor chaps up! Although it might be better if i take him to the car park and stick the heater on (And recline the seats) in the gerbils fiesta.

That looks delicious - thank you, @Boiledbeetle!

I’ll definitely post a picture of Parsley, @FuzzyPuffling.

And I’ve found some patterns for knitted puffins, so that’s next year’s toy decided too!

The Gerbil got the order One hot chocolate coming up, she's working on trying to get the marshmallows in the mug

That's a very beguiling gerbil, if a little broad in the beam.

Ooh, a sticker option admittedly a misspelled sticker option!
